Sick for Christmas



Riley Seemed to be getting sicker and sicker as time went by. She was lethargic, and slept constantly. So in the late afternoon an Christmas Eve, we took her to a doctor. We found out that she had either a broncial infection, the early stage of pnemonia, or a form of RSV. They said that no matter which one of those she had, they would give her the same treatment, so they didn't want to waste our time with x-rays and tests, and they let us go home. Since she was really lethargic, and her breathing was labored, they checked her pulsox (not sure how to spell that) and found out that her oxygen level was only at 80%. So she had to go on Oxygen. She was resistent to weraing it and she had to have it though the night, so Jace, Anji, and I took shifts holding it through the night. Let's just say we didn't get much sleep. Christmas ended up being more stressful than anything for us. We took her to the doctor the day after Christmas and she was able to get off the oxygen, and is now on her way to recovery.
